    I think they are just confusing us with Democrats, who fall on the floor and lick the party boot with such speed that it probably even terrifies those at the top. I know I would be a little scared if my followers were so fanatic they can literally ignore genocide.

      It is remarkable the level of domestication the western Liberals have undergone.

      They literally skipped the primary election and installed a candidate without a single vote, and nobody cared. They all just went back to their cud.

    The sad reality is that it’s actually the right that is much better at coming together largely because they are completely unprincipled, and they simply rally around things they hate collectively.

    Ironically, I actually think the opposite is true (at least here in the west). Right wingers are more than happy to “accept” anyone as long as they can subscribe to some level of hate for the “other”.

    when you don’t know anything about the left or leftism. honestly i’m pretty sure removedold carlson is just saying this as a means to gin up his base and make them think we’re all ultra-organized antifa super soldiers just waiting for soros to flip the kill switch and turn us into sleeper cells.

    completely disregarding the actual left, you can literally just look at “the left” (the democratic party) and see how much fighting there is even among people who aren’t even left wing but are just slightly less outwardly fascist than the right. if anything, it’s the right wingers who are a lot more unified and don’t argue- because at the end of the day, whether you’re a literal nazi or you’re a “libertarian” all you give a shit about is subjugating the same groups of people. leftists have actual ideals and beliefs, which is why we argue with each other.

      leftists have actual ideals and beliefs, which is why we argue with each other.

      It’s partially because of that, but a lot of those ideals and beliefs on the left are chauvinistic, Liberal or idealistic and naive. We have to argue amongst ourselves in the western left constantly due to the eternal influx of “social democrats” and “market socialists” and “democratic socialists” and other various flavors of radlibs who still have one foot in Liberal ideology and Western chauvinism. We have to constantly purge ourselves of this tendency and correct our new young ‘comrades’ and it’s a never ending task.

      Whereas on the right there isn’t 100 years of anti-communist ideology and obfuscation and synthetic leftist/rightism to trudge through. The right didn’t have the CIA promoting distorters of their theories.

    Reading the top then thinking “this seems like and exaggeration” then actually reading the bottom and yeah, I laughed pretty good.

    Why do these outlets hate posting the original clip so much? Can I see the video or not?

    He’s talking about US Liberals, which is what constitutes “Left” there, and in that sense he’s absolutely right. Blue Maga is cult like in it’s ability to coalesce into a single force behind whoever they’re told to. They switched from full throated support for Genocide Joe to Holocaust Harris at the drop of a hat.
